The Winners Of The Natural History Museum Wildlife Photographer Of The Year Contest Were Announced. Karin Eigner Won The Grand Title For Her Photograph Of A Ball Of Cactus Bees.

Wildlife Photographer of the Year was developed by London’s Natural History Museum and was established in 1965 by the BBC’s wildlife magazine, then called Animals.

The Natural History Museum joined forces in 1984 to create the current competition, which is now managed and owned by the Natural History Museum, London.

This competition includes two big prizes “Wildlife Photographer of the Year” and “Young Wildlife Photographer of the Year.” The two winning images were selected from among 19 category winners, which included 38,575 entries from 93 countries this year.

These photographs were judged anonymously by a panel of Natural History Museum experts based on the image’s originality, narrative, technical excellence, and ethical performance.
